Find the Probability of Combined Events

When two or more options occur, there are multiple possible outcomes. 

For example, when you go to the cinema you have the following popcorn options:

Sweet             Salty

Small = Medium =Large =

So the possible outcomes are:

small, sweet

small, salty

medium, sweet

medium, salty

large, sweet

large, salty

There are 6 possible outcomes.

So the probability of selecting a medium, salty popcorn is 1/6

Let's have a go at some questions listing outcomes and finding probability.

Remember when listing outcomes to make sure we make logical, organised lists to ensure we don't miss any!
